@gustavovitulo Hey what are you thinking? we currently offer the ability to change text inside the message box to any language you desire :)

I do not get it, yet. All it does no matter where I click is sending me to messenger.com and the respective vanity, that is it.
It even sends me there when I do not click on the message link, because the whole widget area ".fb-messenger-widget-message" is triggering the same action, no matter if you click on an actionable link, CTA appearing link or just somewhere.
What is the point?
@andmitsch Andreas, whats the point to chat with visitors using Facebook Messenger? I didn't quite catch your questions - we're working on making a lot of improvements to the widget over the next few weeks and a lot more functionality along with automation.
Please let me know if I can help you understand anything else, have a great one!

@rickats No, what is the point in the widget doing nothing but pointing to a rigid URL? I mean, I can always create a link pointing to a specific FB messenger URL.
Maybe it is not working as expected on my side, because all the widget does is always open a new tab to a hard URL, there is no dialogue on the page, just opening a messenger tab.
I'd totally like to have a messenger chat interface straight on the page, but I just get pointed to a messenger URL.
@andmitsch Andreas, cool feedback - however keep in mind this is the first version and we're already working on version 2 which will do a lot of this and will change the way you communicate with customers :)

@drawby we're working on improving mobile functionality - should have it all working end to end by end of next week so feel free to test it out then and should work flawlessly

Gave this a shot today -- it's still a bit buggy (the angular errors out a lot when moving around the dashboard).
Tried the automation a bit -- it's testable but very buggy. It's also not intuitive on how to send that out to your visitors.
Overall it's a nice idea, but the execution is lacking a bit. It would be nicer to imbed the messenger into the site (like intercom) instead of popping out the window. Also, while probably a FB Messenger limitation, when people want to chat with us, I don't want to show them all their personal conversations -- but keep them focused in on our conversation.
Good MVP though! Keep up the revisions!
